The north wind blew snow swirling in the air, and frost formed on the green bricks. In the courtyard, there are two mothers-in-law in blue cotton robes spreading out mats to collect snow.

Seeing Bai Yun coming back, the slightly chubby mother-in-law stopped her movements, looked up and smiled at her: "The girl is back, this snow is so heavy, it's hard to run this trip!" ”

Bai Yun is a second-class maid, and these inferior mothers-in-law have to be careful to please her. She was superior in her heart, but she said humbly: "It's just that the young lady ordered to go, and it doesn't matter." What do you do with this snow? ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "It was ordered by the young lady, let me collect more snow water and store it in a clay pot for ......."

Bai Yun's voice was unconscious: "Miss is awake?" ”

Mrs. Li said: "Not long after I woke up, I leaned against the window to read. ”

Bai Yun cautiously went to the door of the house, she hugged her hands and rubbed, only to see the hot breath she exhaled turn white. When I opened the curtain and walked into the house, I immediately felt warm. There is a charcoal fire burning in the charcoal basin, and a screen on the right side of the door, a hundred bird brocade screen inlaid by white jade and jade, gorgeous and exquisite. Leaning on a cloisonné twined lotus plum vase, there are several half-opened plum blossoms inserted in it.

There is a small table of wenge wood on the big kang near the window, and there is a rui beast incense burner on it, and the young lady is leaning on the big pillow embroidered with golden auspicious cloud patterns, holding a book in her hand, and her elbow is propped on the edge of the bed, and her body is covered with a fluffy mink, her hair is not decorated, and the slippery green silk falls on the navy blue satin of the mink, and her expression is lazy. And Zefu stood by and waited.

Seeing her come in, Jin Chaocai slowly raised his head: "Have you inquired?" ”

Bai Yun nodded, took a step closer and whispered, "The kitchen manager told me that Qingpu was asked to go by the second lady the year before last, and she should be on duty in her small kitchen." Miss, why did you suddenly remember to ask her, didn't Qingpu be sent to the kitchen by you for stealing one of your jade and gold hairpins......

Jin Chao glanced at her lightly and continued to lower his head to read his book. "My business, I can afford you to ask more, and it is becoming more and more unruly. Go and help Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chang put away the snow. ”

Bai Yun's heart suddenly tightened, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, what did the young lady do, what did she say.

Bai Yun looked a little uneasy, it was snowing heavily outside, and the weather was cold, if she went to collect snow water, her slender jade hands would definitely have chilblains, but she couldn't disobey Miss, and said yes before leaving the house.

Jin Chao raised his head and asked Caifu, who was standing silently, "Liuxiang, why haven't you seen her?" ”

Cai Fu said: "Didn't you send her to send a box of pine nut rice dumplings candy to Miss Four, I'm afraid that the snow is slippery and the road is delayed." Miss, it's very cold for you to sit by the window, and your body is not completely complete, so let's go back to bed and lie down first......"

Jin Chao waved his hand: "Go and pour this incense, if it is not necessary, don't burn incense in the house." ”

The scent was so sweet that she felt dizzy when she smelled it.

Cai Fu said, holding the incense burner to pour the ashes. After she opened the curtain and walked out, Jin Chao put down the book in his hand and looked at the furnishings in his room. On the side is the carved magnolia unicorn auspicious cloud of mahogany thousand work beds, hanging the silk tent with entwined branches and lotus patterns, you can see a golden silk nanmu table behind the four maulle fans on the left hand, there are two red lacquer chairs near the window, and there is a pot of evergreen pine bonsai on the high table.

Jin Chao closed his eyes.

When she woke up last night, she saw such a luxurious scene, but she still hasn't gotten used to it. It's not that the scene is unfamiliar, on the contrary, this is the place she is most familiar with, this is Qingtong Courtyard, the Gu family's mansion when she was not married. It's just that when she was seriously ill, this place was already given by her father to a newly raised aunt.

And the maid Bai Yun was sent down by the old lady soon after she married into the Chen family because of her gaffe.

Cai Fu did not go to the Chen family with her, and in the end, when she got older, she was rewarded by her father to a Gu family's shopkeeper as a concubine.

It's just that everything that is seen now is still intact.

Jin Chao was really tired after reading the book for a while, and before Cai Fu came back, he helped Gao Ji next to him to put on satin shoes and stood up.

Tsefu said that she had been sick for several days.

Jin Chao remembers this incident, his mother suffered a serious illness when she was fifteen years old, and died half a year later. When her mother was seriously ill, she also heard that Chen Xuanqing was going to go to the Guogong Mansion with the young masters of several other noble families, and she couldn't wait to meet him.

Unfortunately, the wind and snow were too strong that day, and the plum blossoms did not bloom well. She waited for Ji Jiu with Liuxiang, but she didn't see Chen Xuanqing coming. After he came back, he fell ill and did not go to his mother for four or five days in a row.

Thinking of this, Jin Chao couldn't help but clench his palms. I used to be too ridiculous, my mother was seriously ill, and I still wanted to see my sweetheart, but I didn't know that in four or five months, my mother was about to die due to serious illness.

Jin Chao sat in front of the makeup mirror and looked at the girl in the mirror in confusion. This mirror was brought back from Jiangsu by the third uncle, and the surrounding edge is carved with peonies, birds and beasts, which is extremely exquisite. Maternal grandmother gave it to her.

In the mirror, the girl's black hair is long to the waist, her face is as white as jade, her eyes are as bright as water, and her lips are delicate like new peaches.

There are many kinds of beauty in beauty, some are as weak as willows, and some are as tall as orchids. But Gu Jinchao is like a begonia, delicate and enchanting.

Although this appearance is beautiful, it only looks like a vase for enjoyment.

Although the Jin Dynasty invited Xixi when he followed his grandmother, he read through the Fameng books, and the four books were also involved. She reads more than the average noblewoman, but she doesn't look smart, but too bright.

When she was a girl, she cherished her face very much, but later she got more and more tired of it. She thought she was acting too flamboyantly, and then she even disliked her looks, wishing that she would sit in the corner and no one noticed.

Gu Jinchao touched his face, very puzzled. She didn't understand why she had returned to the Gu family, and why she had become the same as when she was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Is this just a dream? After waking up from the dream, she was still the third lady waiting for death in the Chen family?

She had been awake for two days, and for those two days she was groggy and had no energy. I only felt that someone was talking in my ear, but I couldn't hear what was being said. The first half of the day was in better spirits, and I was forced to talk to Tsefu and others. Only then did I learn that I had been sick for many days. And everything around this is too real and clear, and it doesn't feel like a dream.

Or is God remembering that she has been in trouble all her life and wants her to come back to see it?

Jin Chao was a little moved, she walked to the long yellow rosewood table dedicated to Guanyin, knelt on the futon embroidered with gold and branches, and prayed sincerely: "If the Bodhisattva really pity me, let me stay longer, at least I can see my mother and brother......"

There was no such thing in her room, her mother was seriously ill for a long time, and Jin Chao was anxious, so he enshrined Guanyin Bodhisattva in his room, and prayed for his mother in the morning and dusk, and if he was free, he would also copy the Buddhist scriptures and burn them to the Bodhisattva.

Caifu soon came in with the incense burner, and saw the young lady kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva and was about to get up, so he hurriedly came to help her.

Jin Chao glanced at her, her hair and shoulders were covered with snow, I am afraid that she has stood in the snow for a long time, how can she stand in the snow for a long time.

"Is the ash ready?"

"I fell into the flower bed where the holly was planted, and I heard that the incense ash raises flowers." ”

Jin Chao saw Bai Yun standing in the snow through the fan, the snow was still falling heavily, and the two mothers-in-law were closing the table. She didn't break it, Bai Yun, a girl who loves to chew the root of her tongue, and she used to spoil her, but when she arrived at the Chen family, she had a big accident because of a private conversation with the girl, and she almost suffered herself. This character really should be managed.

Tzefu took the mink cloak and put it on the young lady, and heard the young lady ask softly, "What did you say about me?" ”

Caifu's hand tightened, and she saw that the young lady's face was as pale as water, calm and calm. She didn't know why she felt a little chill in her heart, and hurriedly smiled: "Miss thinks too much, the slave just told Sister Bai Yun how to store this snow water." ”

Jin Chao hummed: "Then tell me how to store it." ”

Cai Fu said: "Seal it in a jar, it is best to place it underground, even in the shade of grass and trees, otherwise the snow water will lose its spirituality and be useless." ”

Jin Chao looked straight at Cai Fu, this girl is smarter than Bai Yun, why didn't she find out before.

She knew in her heart that she had acted recklessly and impulsively, and her temper was also bad, and if she didn't go along with it, she would punish and reprimand the maids, and few of her maids were loyal to her. is more afraid that she will suddenly become angry, so she will beat people half to death.

Isn't that Qingpu like this, or the young lady brought back the big girl from her grandmother Ji's family, but she touched the young lady's eyebrows on Chen Xuanqing's matter, and the young lady didn't like her, so she was sent to the kitchen in the inner courtyard to do chores.

Jin Chao did not continue to ask. Fingers twitched over the straps of the cloak, and saw that his hands were long and white, and the roots were slender. "Change my clothes, and we'll go to my mother." Jin Chao instructed Caifu. I wonder how my mother is now? She hadn't seen her for so many days, and she ...... She also wanted to meet Aunt Song. Thinking of this person, Jin Chao's heart tightened. If it weren't for Aunt Song, she and her mother would not have fallen into the same field as they did later.
